Chapter 503: Man Conquers Heaven
"Mr. Wang, it's not that the last general doesn't believe you, seeing that the green seedlings are about to ripen, at this time, even half, no, even thirty percent of the harvest can't be harvested, how do you let the people of Liaodong live? How do you ask the last general to explain to Hou Ye? Even if the last general listens to you, how can you persuade the generals in Liaozhong and Liaonan? β
As soon as he approached the commanding embassy, Xie Hong heard a roar, Qi Fatzi's lung capacity was good, and a series of questions were completely shouted out in one breath, without any ventilation in the middle. [No pop-up novel network]
However, it was obvious that the fat man himself was not proud of this, his tone was full of resentment, mixed with a little hesitation, which even Xie Hong felt surprised, and it was completely unbelievable to him.
Hearing the fat man's hoarse voice, Xie Hong felt a little sympathetic, he was a timid fat man, and it was too cruel to let him make such a major decision.
"The will of heaven is irreversible, but the people always have to live......" Wang Shouren did not waver at all because of this, his voice was calm, but his tone was as categorical, "Grab it!" The only way is to grab the harvest, and now you can at least drop next year's rations, if you wait until the hail falls, it will be a situation where there is no harvest, which is more important? β
"Even if you want to harvest it, according to your statement, in the whole territory of Liao, hail will fall within ten days, and even some places will ...... earlier" The fat man began to jump to his feet, and even Xie Hong outside the mansion felt the tremor of the ground, "Then tell me, how can you harvest more than one million acres of fields in ten days?" You say, you say! β
"This ......" Wang Shouren groaned slightly, and then said more firmly: "When Lord Xie left, he had already made arrangements, although the time was tight, but the craftsman had already dealt with the things he arranged, and it should be no problem to grab it." β
Well, it turns out that Brother Bo'an still values his brother very much, and he trusts him very much, I originally thought that he wouldn't care too much about that thing, but now it seems that Brother still has a lot of weight in his heart.
Although he knew that it was out of place, Xie Hong was still slightly proud, thinking about the various contempts he saw when he first met, he had already taken a big step forward.
"Of course Master Hou's arrangement is no problem......" mentioned Xie Hong, Qi Fatzi was also stagnant, the original momentum was much weaker, but his attitude was still very resolute, "But, based on your prediction alone, Mr. Wang, who can guarantee that there will really be hail, and it will be such a big hail?" Will the entire Liaodong grain be harvested? Isn't that a joke? β
Hail is not something that the fat man has never seen, it happened from time to time in the early years, and it seems to have become more frequent in recent years. However, as Wang Shouren said, he really hasn't seen this kind of hail.
How big is Liaodong? That's a land boundary that stretches thousands of miles, how large a hail can cover the whole Liao? Could it be that God is crazy?
What's more, since these days, there have been cloudless sunny days in southern Liaoning, and those experienced old farmers have even begun to worry about the drought, and there is not even a single drop of rain, how can there be hail? Isn't that?
"Lian said, Wang watched the sky at night, and saw that there was a wolf violating the realm, Ziwei ......" Wang Shouren's attitude was more resolute.
But after hearing his words, Xie Hong didn't flash to his waist, I wipe, watch the sky at night, Brother Bo'an still has such an exaggerated ability? If it can really be more accurate than the weather forecast in later generations, shouldn't my brother also learn from it?
"You!" Xie Hong knew Wang Shouren's achievements, but the fat man didn't know, and he didn't believe it when he knew it.
"Who are you when you are? Watching the sky at night? Isn't that the ability of Zhuge Wuhou in the play? Why do you have that? Besides, even if it is Zhuge Wuhou, he can only count where the wind blows, but I am afraid that he can't count hail, you say you can calculate it, isn't this bragging? I don't believe it! β
The fat man gritted his teeth and shook his head desperately, during this time, he and Wang Shouren quarreled more than once or twice, if it was an ordinary thing, even if it was just for the attention that Hou Ye attached to this person, he would be relieved.
Wasn't it before? The acres of land in his house occupied more of the public, so he was held by this person, but he still let go generously and returned the acres to the governor's yamen, and he didn't care much about it afterwards, this can be regarded as a burden of humiliation, right?
But now if you agree to this matter, you will be poked in the backbone by the whole Liao's father...... Qi Cheng sprayed rough air in his nostrils, and stared at Wang Shouren with red eyes, although Wang Shouren's expression was indifferent, but his eyebrows were also full of worry, this is the scene Xie Hong saw when he stepped into the main hall of the command embassy.
He smiled aloud and said, "Brother Bo'an, Commander Qi, don't come?" β
"Thank you...... You," Wang Shouren must have been too focused on arguing, and he didn't hear the movement of Port Arthur, and suddenly saw Xie Hong, he first exclaimed, and his eyes flashed with joy, and even the melancholy between his eyebrows faded a lot.
"Master Hou, you can come back, humble ...... I've been looking forward to you for a long time. The fat man's reaction was even more exaggerated, he rolled to Xie Hong's feet like a big meat ball, hugged Xie Hong's thigh and cried, tears flowed as if he had seen his long-lost mother, crying was called a miserable.
"Commander Qi, if you have something to say...... "In Xia Yue, it is not a good pleasure to be hugged by a big fat man, Xie Hongqiang resisted the urge to kick the fat man, and persuaded with good words.
Of course, he is not Zhengde, Qi Cheng is such a big lump, he couldn't kick it originally...... "Master Hou, you don't know ......" finally found the backbone, Qi Cheng began to cry, he was wronged!
If there is really hail, it will be a once-in-a-century catastrophe, why rush at this time, and still force yourself to make decisions? If not, then the wise Mr. Wang went crazy, which is a rare miracle in ten years, why did he catch up with himself? Who knows how bitter his heart is?
"Master Xie, you know everything, what do you think?" Wang Shouren coldly interrupted the fat man's crying, he didn't want to say goodbye to the fat man, but from Xie Hong's expression, he could see that the other party already knew about it, and even had some ideas.
"Brother Bo'an, can you elaborate on your method of observing the heavens at night?" When Wang Shouren was arguing with Qi Cheng, he also said a few words, but Xie Hong couldn't understand those terms, and he was quickly interrupted by the fat man, which made him a little regretful.
"I ...... Who is Wang, you should know that such a major event is related to the life and death of tens of millions of people, will Wang make a big statement in order to fight for fame? Believe it or not, but it's up to you. Wang Shouren said abruptly.
Don't look at his calmness, but during this period of time, he has not been understood by others, and he is worried about the people, and he is not happy in his heart, of course he is not good at turning his face with Qi Cheng, a bastard, because he also knows the other party's spleen surname, that is, he is a serious person, or he does not have a surname, and the starting point is still good.
But when he saw Xie Hong's calm appearance, his fire came up, such a big matter, the other party was not in a hurry, but he put on a very curious and knowledge-seeking appearance...... Is it time to study?
Therefore, Wang Shouren didn't give Xie Hong any good looks.
Isn't it a fine tradition to learn and learn? Why did you touch a nose of ash? Xie Hong touched his nose, feeling very aggrieved, brother is not easy, his subordinates are not incapable echo worms, such as this fat man; It's a capable thorn in the head, okay, Brother Bo'an is not a brother's subordinate...... "Ahem......" He cleared his throat and said: "Brother Bo'an, in fact, the younger brother thinks like this, we might as well prepare with both hands......"
"What time is it, and where is this good free time?" Wang Shouren said urgently.
"Actually, the little brother also has a little experience in predicting the weather, Brother Bo'an, if you don't mind, let's discuss it, it's not that the little brother doesn't believe you, it's just that the matter is really very related, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is about the world's plans, and the little brother can't be cautious about such things."
"This ...... You know? Wang Shouren glanced at Xie Hong suspiciously.
Knowing astronomy and geography is the exquisiteness of the literati, although it has something to do with what Xie Hong said, there is still a big gap after all, not to mention that Xie Hong has never revealed this knowledge, which makes him a little suspicious.
"I know a little bit about it." Xie Hong smiled bitterly.
In fact, he was also worried in his heart, he couldn't say that the six gods had no master, but his mind was also quite chaotic, and he had to think of a solution; The way to confirm Wang Shouren's prediction should also be considered; In case it cannot be resolved, the aftermath still needs to be considered; Even the changes that the situation will cause as a result must be included in his thinking...... Can he not worry?
However, as a superior and the backbone of the team, he can't show a weak look, otherwise it will greatly affect morale and even cause panic, which only needs to look at the behavior of Qi Cheng and the Zhao family's uncles and nephews.
They were also skeptical of what Wang Shouren said, and they were also worried about the possible big hail, but after seeing themselves, these people's emotions were very stable, even if they were fat men who couldn't cry, they were sobbing and gradually quieting down at this time, which was this kind of unreserved trust.
If you make a look like you have no master, then these people will probably collapse directly, what else to talk about? Xie Hong sighed secretly, this is the price of being the backbone.
However, although he was determined, Xie Hong was a little panicked in his heart, he had learned the common sense of predicting the weather in elementary school, but after thinking about it, there seemed to be no way to predict hail?
Moreover, the large-scale hailstorms covering the whole of Liaodong do not seem to have left a record in history...... Is this the influence of the Xiaoice era, or is it the butterfly effect caused by the brother? Or did no one care about it at all, so there was no trace left?
"That's fine, Wang will ...... with you" Wang Shouren is not a stubborn person, seeing that Xie Hong is indeed sincere, he nodded and put on a posture to be discussed in detail.
He is very clear about Xie Hong's status in the minds of the military and civilians in Liaodong, and he said that although no one believes it, if Xie Hong says it himself, then everyone will definitely obey it, and the losses caused by this big crisis must be minimized, right?
"Report ......"
At this moment, a hurried sound of horses' hooves sounded outside the house, which slowed down only when it reached the front of the house, and then, replaced by a heavy footstep, and a long cry indicated the identity of the comerβthe messenger, who seemed to have brought a hundred thousand urgent news.
"Read!" Xie Hong frowned slightly, and commanded categorically.
"Yes, Master Qiqi, Liaoyang Yang will report urgently!" A staff member had already stepped forward to take the letter and immediately recited it aloud: "...... Yesterday, there was a sudden hail in western Liaoning, the scope was very large, covering most of western Liaoning, the disaster was extremely serious, the crops in the fields were destroyed, and the grain was no harvest It was a foregone conclusion! β
"Ahh Everyone exclaimed, even Xie Hong raised his eyebrows, obviously, Wang Shouren's prediction was partially verified, and the price was so heavy! Moreover, now is not the time to marvel, since part of it has been verified, then the other part of his prediction...... "Lord Hou, Lord Wang......" Qi Cheng and the uncles and nephews of the Zhao family are already pale, even if it is only Liaoxi, this is a natural disaster that is rare in a century, if Mr. Wang's prediction is true, then wouldn't the entire Liaodong ...... "report ......"
What are you afraid of, another urgent report, and a string of horses' hooves, the same hurry, the same palpitations!
"Read!" Xie Hong's voice was still steady, which somewhat gave everyone present some confidence.
ββ¦β¦ Gaizhou Mao ginseng will be reported urgently! When the staff read it again, his voice was already shaking.
Following the hail in western Liaoning, the dark clouds covering the corridor in western Liaoning have not dispersed, but have begun to move eastward, and now they have crossed the Sancha River, and Haizhou, Gaizhou, and Yaozhou all have the tendency of dark clouds to overwhelm the city...... Mao Lun first received the news from Liaoxi, and then like this, he was also shocked when he saw this, and he couldn't think of a countermeasure at all in a panic, so he could only send a message to Liaonan and report to the governor's yamen.
"Oh my God! Is God going to kill my Liaodong soldiers and civilians? Qi Cheng suddenly roared, his mournful voice full of despair and unwillingness.
No one stepped forward to persuade him, and the uncles and nephews of the Zhao family themselves also felt that their eyes were blackened, and it was easy to look forward to the arrival of the Holy Son of Heaven, and with the assistance of virtuous ministers like Hou Ye, the dawn of Liaodong was imminent.
But at this juncture, it looks like a bumper harvest! Even if it's postponed for another month, no, even if it's half a month...... The ears of rice have been heavy, as long as it is in August, it can be harvested, and with the means arranged by the Hou Ye, the harvesting time must not be a problem.
But, why, why is it at this time! Doesn't God want the people of Liaodong to live a good life? Why doesn't God give people a way to live!
"Lord Xie, now there is only one way to grab the harvest, and it is ...... as soon as possible" Wang Shouren's voice was also very low, making this kind of unlucky prediction, the more accurate, the more uncomfortable he felt in his heart, seeing the appearance of several Jinzhou generals, he even felt that he had caused this tragedy single-handedly.
"No, you can't take it." Xie Hong's attitude suddenly hardened.
"Lord Xie, you have to think about the common people, you can still leave some thoughts for them if you grab it, if you let it ......" Wang Shouren's emotions were very excited, but the words behind him still couldn't bear to say after all, he sighed suddenly: "Providence is like this, what can I do about it?" β
"Man will conquer heaven!" Xie Hong raised his head and stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to grasp the sky above his head in his hand, he clenched his fists hard.
"Want to die in Liaodong? I don't allow it, what about God's will? Watch me turn things around! β
